The Sharks set out on a two game tour of Alberta beginning with a stop in Calgary. Our old buddies the Flames are in a pretty scrappy battle to keep the 3rd seed in the Western Conference. What appeared as a lock for a large portion of the season is now a tenuous hold at best, with the hard charging 'Nucks only a point behind for the lead in the Northwest Division, plus the 'Hawks sniffing that 3rd spot with 91 points as well. Olli Jokinen has cooled off considerably since a 5 point outburst against the Mighty Leafs and the team as a whole is 4-6-0 over their last ten games. Suffice it to say, they're gonna want this one.
The boys in teal are just as banged up as in the last game, but this time Captain Reproduction is out with a lower body boo boo. He'll be at home playing with newborn Brody (seriously, Brody? WTF?). Hopefully Cheech can make it into the lineup tonight. I'm kinda sick of watching the Worcester Sharks, to be honest. Except for that McGinn kid. He can stick around. The Flames' physical style of play is one of their trademarks, so let's try to get out of this game without any more wounded, mmmkay?
Let me take this moment to congratulate the Sharks on setting a franchise record with 109 points so far. There's another 14 points out there to grab; let's go get 'em!
Go Sharks!
